Propolis: A natural ingredient not only for bees

Propolis, often called "bee glue", is a fascinating natural substance that bees collect from tree buds and plants. This resinous material plays an important role in bee life and is valued by people around the world as a traditional bee product.

Propolis in bee life 

In the hive, propolis works as a multifunctional natural material. Bees use it to seal cracks and gaps and to adjust the internal environment of the hive. With its resinous consistency and specific composition, propolis is an important part of how the bee colony works.

Propolis and its use in products

People have used propolis for centuries for its distinctive composition, origin and specific properties. Here, it is presented as a traditional bee ingredient used in a range of products.

Obtaining propolis: gentle methods for bees and the environment

Collecting propolis requires a sensitive approach that respects the rhythm of the bees. BEE&YOU never collects propolis directly from inside the hive, because bees need it for their home to function and to make other bee products. Instead, they use special propolis traps with small openings, made from food-grade plastic.

 

These traps are placed under the inner cover of the hive. The bees fill them with propolis during their normal work of sealing the hive. Once the traps are full, we gently remove them, without disturbing the bees or causing them any harm.

 

This collection method is gentle on bees while allowing high-quality propolis to be obtained, with its characteristic composition, clear origin and typical colour.

 

Anatolian propolis - a natural ingredient from Turkey

Anatolian propolis, from Turkey’s rich ecosystems, contains various phenolic and flavonoid compounds, including caffeic acid, quercetin, galangin, chlorogenic acid, linolenic acid, apigenin and chrysin.

 

The character of Anatolian propolis is shaped mainly by the origin of the ingredient, the diversity of the local flora and the way it is processed. Anatolia is known for its rich natural environment and wide variety of plants, from which bees obtain resinous substances to make propolis.

 

BEE&YOU uses patented extraction technology, which allows propolis to be processed gently and a standardised extract to be obtained. The main factors that influence the quality of this propolis include the region the propolis comes from, cooperation with verified beekeepers and the extraction technology. 

Bee products: How to choose the right one?

Traditional bee products such as propolis, honey and pollen have been valued for centuries for their distinctive composition, origin and varied uses. How can you find your way around them, and what should you focus on when choosing?

Propolis: An important part of the beehive

Propolis is a natural blend of resins that bees collect from buds of trees and plants, then process further. In the hive, they use it to seal small gaps and adjust the internal environment. Its complex composition contains various substances, including polyphenolic and flavonoid compounds.

 

Propolis is a popular ingredient in various natural products. On the market, it can be found in drops, sprays or tinctures, which are practical to use according to the information on the packaging.

Honey: A natural sweetener with a gentle taste

Honey is a popular natural sweetener with a typical taste and aroma. It contains sugars and is often used in drinks and various products.

 

Alongside standard flower honey, there are also special varieties, such as honey containing propolis or pollen, which combine several bee products in one.

Bee pollen and royal jelly: Traditional bee products

Bee pollen is a bee product with a rich composition. It can be used, for example, in porridge, yoghurt or smoothies. 

Royal jelly, which bees produce to feed their queen, is another well-known bee ingredient with a characteristic composition. It can be found in capsules, tablets or liquid extracts.

Anatolia: A cradle of biodiversity and a source of quality propolis

Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is a region rich in natural beauty and biological diversity. With more than 12 000 species of plants, many of them endemic, it is one of the highly diverse biological regions. This unique flora provides a suitable environment for obtaining quality propolis, which bees collect from the buds, leaves and stems of plants.

BEE&YOU: Innovation in propolis extraction

BEE&YOU uses patented propolis extraction technology, which allows this bee ingredient to be processed gently while preserving its characteristic composition. This method helps obtain a standardised propolis extract with a focus on quality, origin and the composition of the ingredients used.

Monitored propolis composition

Thanks to the blend of Anatolia’s rich biodiversity and innovative extraction technology, BEE&YOU offers propolis with a carefully monitored composition. Product quality is shaped mainly by ingredient origin, collection method, processing control and standardisation of the resulting extract.

Commitment to sustainability and quality

BEE&YOU is committed to sustainable beekeeping practices and ensures traceability of its products from the hive through to the final product. This approach focuses on respect for nature, support for beekeepers and a high standard of quality in bee products.

BEE&YOU is a brand born from the personal story of its founder, Dr. Asli Samanci, who spent years developing products from bee ingredients and looking for a way to process propolis into a practical and easy-to-use form.

With her expertise in food engineering, she developed a patented method of propolis extraction, allowing this ingredient to be processed gently while preserving its characteristic composition. This innovation became the foundation of BEE&YOU products, now used by customers around the world.

The manufacturer describes checks at several stages and GMP and BRC manufacturing standards. Together with ingredient traceability, these concern production controls, rather than organic certification of this pollen.

At the same time, BEE&YOU is built on principles of sustainability and responsibility towards nature. Through its contract beekeeping model, it supports local beekeepers and helps protect biodiversity in the mountain regions of Anatolia.

All ingredients come from carefully selected sources, reflecting a philosophy of responsibility towards nature, quality and transparent origin. BEE&YOU therefore brings natural products that respect both the planet and the community.

BEE&YOU is known for its unique method of propolis extraction, developed by founder Asli Samanci. This method allows propolis to be processed gently and produces a standardised extract that has become a key ingredient in their products.

Ingredient quality and origin

BEE&YOU certification and quality

BEE&YOU places strong emphasis on quality and authenticity, supported by a strict four-stage control system. First, sample analysis is carried out on ingredients from contract beekeepers, followed by further testing in laboratories. After processing on the production line, semi-finished products are analysed, and finished products undergo thorough testing in laboratories within the 10 700 m² production facility.

The products are also independently tested by accredited laboratories and universities. In an audit by the German organisation DQS CFS GmbH, the brand scored 98.06 points out of 100 in the IFS Food assessment and received the prestigious BRC AA+ certificate.

The manufacturer lists GMP, BRC, IFS and ISO standards for its manufacturing and quality-control system. Their scope relates to the relevant facilities and processes; this does not label this pollen as organic.

Notice for bee products

• Honey: Do not expose it to high temperatures. To preserve its typical taste and consistency, do not add it to very hot drinks.
• Propolis: If adding it to liquids, use drinks at a normal temperature.
• Pollen: Store in a dry, cool place. Some types of pollen are best kept in the fridge or freezer to extend shelf life.
